Guide Labs

Guide Labs is a product-focused AI research company building a new class of inherently interpretable AI systems and foundation models that humans and domain experts can reliably understand, steer, and debug. Its flagship platform, Clarity, is presented as the first inherently interpretable AI platform and surfaces the internal concepts driving a model's decisions, while its Steerling-8B is presented as the first inherently interpretable large language model. The team has published more than two dozen interpretability papers at top machine-learning venues and ships research artifacts such as PRISM training-data prototypes, the FineWeb Concept Atlas, and Atlas for orienting LLM pre-training data. Access to Clarity is available through platform.guidelabs.ai. The company is backed by Initialized Capital.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Guide Labs the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Guide Labs scores 12.6/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Guide Labs

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Guide Labs. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Security Posture 1

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
